1.11. Kidnapping

• A person who detains or arrests another without their consent (or the consent of their guardian) with the premeditated intent to do so.

• A person who detains or arrests another without their consent (or the consent of their guardian) for more than one hour.

• A person who detains or arrests another without their consent (or the consent of their guardian) with the intent or decision to hold that individual for ransom of any kind.

- Penal Code 1.11 is a felony punishable by no more than 15 months imprisonment and no more than 100$ in fines. This falls under Officer Discretion.

NOTES:

Kidnapping is defined by a more egregious act of False Imprisonment. Kidnapping is when the False Imprisonment is premeditated or planned, done for ransom (any reward or action in return for the person’s safe return,) or for more than one hour, regardless of intent.
